The course offers an introduction into dynamic macroeconomics. Topics covered include the empirical measurement and characterization of business cycles, and an introduction into dynamic macro modelling (Real Business Cycle and New Keynesian models). A particular focus will lie on deriving and understanding the parallels with undergraduate macroeconomic models and on understanding the effects of macroeconomic policy.
Upon completion of this course students have a basic understanding of macroeconomic analysis in a dynamic setting.
Attendance is compulsory. A maximum of 4 course hours (1 day of lectures) are allowed to be missed.
The course is mainly lecture-based. Homework assignment and exercises (in groups) will be used to deepen the understanding of the materials discussed.
Grading is based on:
a final exam (50%)
homeworks (40%)
active class participation and mini-quizzes (10%)
